Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat processing technology, and more specifically, to an ultra-high temperature steam sterilization device for meat processing. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high temperature steam sterilization refers to the use of continuous ultra-high temperature steam to kill bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms in meat processing equipment, thereby achieving a longer shelf life. Ultra-high temperature steam sterilization can kill not only common bacteria and fungi, but also spores and buds. It is the most reliable and widely used physical sterilization method. High-temperature steam sterilization equipment is required when processing meat products.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN219920234U discloses an ultra-high temperature steam sterilization device for meat processing, comprising a box body, support legs fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body, a wheel axle installed inside the box body, a meat storage box installed inside the box body, a handle fixedly installed on the left side of the meat storage box, a water tank installed at the bottom inside the box body, an electric heating rod installed inside the water tank, a steam port installed at the top of the electric heating rod, a water inlet installed on the outside of the box body, and a box cover installed on one side of the box body, the box cover being fixedly connected to the box body via a connector. The improved ultra-high temperature steam sterilization device replaces the traditional meat storage box with a fine mesh meat storage box, increasing the heating area, and the box body is made of heat-insulating material. Additionally, three electric heating rods are installed inside the water tank, ensuring a longer duration of ultra-high temperature steam sterilization treatment for the meat, less temperature loss, and better sterilization effect. However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings in use:

[0004] The process requires operators to manually open the lid, pull out the meat storage box using the handle, place the meat inside, and then push the box back in using the handle. This process is time-consuming and laborious, affecting work efficiency. Additionally, when meat is placed inside the box, one side of the meat will be in contact with the box, which can affect the sterilization effect on the meat to some extent.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an ultra-high temperature steam sterilization device for meat processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the current problem that requires operators to manually open the lid of the meat storage box, pull out the meat storage box using the handle, put the meat into the meat storage box, and then push the meat storage box back into the box using the handle. This process is time-consuming and laborious, affecting work efficiency. In addition, when the meat is put into the meat storage box, one side of the meat will be in contact with the meat storage box, which to some extent affects the sterilization effect of the meat.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An ultra-high temperature steam sterilization device for meat processing is proposed to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0009] The application is as follows:

[0010] A high-temperature steam sterilization device for meat processing includes a housing with an opening on the front and a door on the front. A connecting frame located inside the housing is fixedly connected to the back of the door. Symmetrically distributed L-shaped rods are fixedly connected between the back of the door and the connecting frame. Multiple hooks arranged linearly and equidistantly are mounted on the L-shaped rods. Symmetrically distributed U-shaped guide plates are fixedly connected inside the housing. The connecting frame is slidably positioned between two of the U-shaped guide plates. Symmetrically distributed pulleys are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame. Symmetrically distributed support plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing. A mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the left side wall of one of the support plates. A rack plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the door. A forward and reverse motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base plate. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor. A drive gear plate that meshes with the rack plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the drive shaft. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the back of the housing. A water tank is provided on the top of the mounting frame. An electric heating element is installed on the bottom wall of the water tank.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, and a first valve is installed on the inlet pipe.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a steam extraction pump is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, a first connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the liquid inlet end of the steam extraction pump and the water tank, and a second connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the liquid outlet end of the steam extraction pump and the tank body.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box, and a second valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a rectangular groove is provided on the front of the box body, and a rectangular frame placed in the rectangular groove is fixedly connected to the back of the box door.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the number of electric heating tubes is several.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the pulley rolls and fits against the bottom wall of the box.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the scheme of this application:

[0019] The forward and reverse motor is started. The motor drives the drive gear plate to rotate counter-clockwise via the drive shaft. This counter-clockwise rotation of the drive gear plate moves the rack away from the mounting frame, causing the door to move with it. The connecting frame and L-shaped rod slide out. Workers hang the meat to be sterilized on the hooks. Then, the forward and reverse motor drives the drive shaft and drive gear plate to rotate clockwise. This clockwise rotation moves the rack and door closer to the mounting frame, placing the connecting frame and L-shaped rod inside the chamber. The door fits snugly against the chamber, and the rectangular frame is placed in the rectangular slot. The meat hanging on the hooks is also placed inside the chamber. The entire process is seamless. The new system requires staff to manually pull the door, saving time and effort while improving work efficiency. Multiple hooks arranged on an L-shaped rod ensure neat arrangement of meat hanging on the hooks, preventing clumping and guaranteeing effective sterilization. This solves the problem of existing technologies requiring operators to manually open the lid, pull out the storage box using the handle, place the meat inside, and then push the box back in using the handle – a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that impacts efficiency. Furthermore, placing meat inside the box with one side in contact with the box can affect sterilization effectiveness. Attached Figure Description
